“My stay at Grassmarket-Old Town Apartment put me squarely in the pulse of Edinburgh; stepping out meant immediate immersion in history. The apartment itself felt like a well-kept secret, equipped with everything needed, though the ascent to its top-floor perch does remind you of the building's venerable age. Still, that view from the top and the thoughtful touches, like milk for that first cuppa, made it a genuinely welcoming base.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Uklothian
